Opening Line: “All early-morning conversation in Captain Joe Catalanotto’s office stopped dead as everyone turned to look at Lucky.”You really can’t go wrong with any of the books from Suzanne Brockmann’s Tall Dark and Dangerous series. Each is well written with a delicious alpha male hero and just the right amount of action, suspense and melodrama to keep you coming back for more. All the stories are loosely connected (following Seal Team 10’s Alpha squad members) yet still different enough tha...
One of my favorites of the TT&D series. Lucky figures out that he's not all that and turns into a real boy. The mystery of the rapist and the way they find him is well done and realistic. The emotions are real and you get to see almost all the characters from the other books. The end scene where they rush to save the heroine is very touching and Lucky really goes all out to save her and then to convince her he loves her. He puts his ego right out there for all to see. Very well done.
Different from the rest of the series in a very good way.Liked it tremendously!
Ladies and gentlemen, she has done it. Suzanne Brockmann has done it! Okay, so I'd fallen for Lucky during his brief appearance in Frisco's Kid, and way more so in The Admiral's Bride, but I had no idea I'd love him THIS MUCH! I really hadn't expected to ever love a TDD character as much I love Blue, but good golly here we are! Lieutenant Luke "Lucky" O'Donlon's a gorgeous blonde hair, blue eyed, walking-talking Ken doll, (as Syd often refers to him as "Navy Ken"). He's a ladies man who's never
Loved, loved, loved this one! Navy SEAL Luke "Lucky" O'Donlan has been swaggering through nearly all of the Tall, Dark, and Dangerous books, doing his SEAL team ten stuff with aplomb and loving and leaving women at the speed of light. I really didn't like him all that much, though I wouldn't have turned down the chance to gaze at him adoringly drool uncontrollably ahem, watch him leave the pool after swimming laps. He seemed like a great team member, a fantastic friend, and a true serial dater.
Great storyline, as always, by Brockmann!What a terrible cover, though! Suzanne Brockmann joked about it on her Facebook page, said she used to offer a "GET LUCKY Cover Fix-It Kit" on her website. Readers could send an SASE and she'd send back a smiley-face sticker and instructions as to how to apply it to the cover of their book!The fix?
What do you do when the perfect blonde Ken doll walks in? Sydney Jameson just shakes her head, they're not going to get rid of her. A friend was brutalized and she's going to work on the task force and write the exclusive when they catch this guy. Lucky O'Donlon isn't getting the reaction he's used to from a woman and why does she keep slipping and calling him Ken? This unlikely pair get to know each other as only Suzanne does it and I loved it. Had me laughing out loud in places, but the suspen...
Like any of Suzanne Brockmann's TD&D books it was fantastic, but honestly the cover nearly killed it before I even read it. Could they have any worse image of Lucky? I really don't think so.This is a case where if I saw this book without knowing anything about the author or the series I wouldn't have picked it up.

Varies from explicit to door half-closed.Hero: SEAL.Heroine: Journalist.Triggers: Violence and rape of secondary characters (view spoiler)[including the violent attack of heroine of a previous book (hide spoiler)].I really enjoyed this one.

more like 3.5...but gotta round down (sorry!)So I haven't read any of Suzanne Brockmann's books before but I heard some good things about this one so I thought I'd try it out. So since this story is part of a series I had to ignore a lot of the back-stories that kept popping up on previous couples in this series which wasn't a problem except I got so confused by the shear amount of them I got somewhat annoyed by the end of it and pretended they were random side characters rather than a group so
I know someone recommended this specific book to me, but I can't remember who. I just know I wouldn't normally pick up a book in the middle of a series, but this can easily be read as a standalone. You get a peek at who the past couplings were, but the story if firmly on Lucky and Syd.This is another one of those hot guy who is a player finds the one woman perfect for him. And a little bit of the girl who doesn't think she stands a chance because he's too perfect. I loved that when Lucky tried t...
I like the suspense and mystery of this series. And of course the Navy SEALS. I am disappointed in how the female characters are portrayed. As a female vet, I understand independence but...if you're not trained or educated in the behavior of these "bad guys" then please shut up about going off by yourself. That pig headedness is foolish and dangerous. Do they have a deathwish? Also the lack of communication, assumptions and manipulating are ridiculous and insulting. Cmon, Ronnie yelling into the...
RomanceWhat I love about Suzanne Brockman's stories is that she captures the growing intimacy and romance of two souls, not just the physical attraction ... as well as the great alpha male hero's of her tales. I find her plots believable and interesting, for the most part. The characters stay true to who they are while allowing for growth and surprises; character consistency. Brockman is inventive; each couple in this series has a unique story. The end of Lucky' story is fitting for him. The end...
I can't tell the ages of Tasha and Thomas. In Frisco's Kid, they're about 15 years apart. She was five; he was a high scool senior or had graduated. In this book, the age difference seems to be about ten years
Captivating This story was vert captivatinf. The story line of the rapist had me, then Lucky wanting to protect what he loved was heartfelt even if he didn't quite know how to say the right words to make Sydney know he was serious.
Another good one in the series. Loved Lucky and Syd together.
Am really enjoying this series
This book has wonderful characters and great suspense. I love the flow of the story. Lucky finally met his match. It's a very enjoyable book!
Of course I loved it. I've loved every word Brockmann has written.
Entertaining with good storyline and strong MCs. I pretty much enjoyed the story from beginning to end. Tough subject matter.
I liked Get Lucky the best of all the books in the Tall, Dark and Dangerous series. Luke (Lucky) is a Navy SEAL and a player who has never had a problem getting any beautiful, young woman for a one night stand or a few nights, at most. When he meets a journalist, Sydney, he expects her to fall for his charms like all the other women but is surprised when she turns him down. That makes Luke want her even more but Sydney is not playing his game.This is a wonderfully written book with a story line
Well, I wanted an easy read to get back into reading mode after taking being not in the mood. So I picked up one of the unread romantic suspense novels of my pile and damn it was an easy read, but one I barely good put away. It was quite a while since I read the last bok of this series, so I wasn't really aware of how much I actually liked Lucky and the stories in general. I absolutely liked the dynamic between him and Syd, they worked well of each other. BUT even if I know what I get from these...
When a serial rapist appears to be a Navy SEAL, Lieutenant Lucky O'Donlon is assigned to the task force. Freelance reporter Sydney Jameson found the latest victim. She forces herself onto the task force, both for the exclusive story and for the capture of the animal who beat and raped her neighbor.I can relate to Syd, from her lack of makeup to her taste in comfortable clothing. Smooth Dawg, on the other hand, acts like he's God's gift to women. A nice guy who isn't used to hearing "no", especia...
Lucky and Sydney are thrown together during a serial rape investigation. Lucky is not the guy you want to root for at the beginning of the story, with his arrogant, holier-than-thou attitude that assumes no mere woman could be helpful in his investigation. But as the book goes on, you do find yourself thinking that he's showing potential and might be worth Sydney's time.Brockmann does a great job as always with the alpha military heroes angle, as well as doing a good job portraying the serial ra...
Love this one even though some parts seem to confuse me.1. How come the rapist has a budweiser? Aren't Navy Seals supposed to get theirs after completing the training? And the culprit didn't even finish his.2. How can another man know the details of the crime, enough to confess that all the rapes have been done by him? (Yeah, yeah, there's a speculation that he might've met the culprit in a pub. And they talk about the details? It sounds like a far shot.)3. How could he get some details about th...
This is the kind of book that made Brockmann an NYT bestseller. Believable characters, great plot and a satisfying ending. What more do you need. SEAL Lucky O'Donlon wasn't interested in a civilian reporter on *his* task force but for Syd, finding the San Felipe rapist was personal. She had seen his handiwork on her neighbor. They strike sparks immediately but have enough crossed wires that getting together takes a significant part of the book and made it that much sweeter.
The cover makes me want to weep. Its just so terrible. Lucky is supposed to be good looking and the Sydney is supposed to dress in loose fitting clothing. I hate when the cover of the book has absolutely nothing to do with the story or the characters at all. *grumble* It was pretty good though. After reading a lot of the books in the series I'm a bit meh towards them now.
So totally laughing at myself right now. I thought this was the first book in the series. So, take it from me folks, you don't have to read these in order!This series was recommended to me by a friend when I said--help! I just watched Generation Kill and just simply need to be immersed in very hot military men... who don't just rescue some admiral's daughter who is randomly kidnapped, hijacked, etc. (I'm looking at you Seal whatever book!). This was great. Lucky was just awesome. Syd was charmin...
5 Stars! ~ Luke aka Lucky has movie star looks and knows he's a magnet to women. He's been assigned to a special Navy / Local Police task force to find a serial rapist who leaves clues that indicate he may be a SEAL. Sydney is a freelance investigative journalist. Her neighbour is a victim of a brutal rape. Sydney pieces together that this isn't a one time thing, and that there may be a serial rapist out there. Using that power, she manages to get herself assigned as part of the task force. She'...
